Which semi-auto choke?


Tomo-1

Recommended Posts

Hi. I have decided to take the plunge and get myself a 3 shot semi-auto for the marsh. We get mostly duck with the odd chance of a goose.

What choke should I fit? I am an OK shot and will be using steel, I do not shoot at very long range birds . I know there is not a one size fits all answer, just a compromise will do. Thanks.

Kicks modified for me. Bought after a good deal of pattern testing and thinking! Very pleased with it out to 50 yards.

Like me in fact the modified will outpatten the velocity required so any more in this case is less!

 

Perhaps if someone shot ridiculously over size shot in a small count tighter might achieve something but 35- 40 is max range for mostly all our quarry with a 12 bore and factory steel

Dead in the air kills being the goal not bringing birds down

Do you really thing steel is limited to 40 yards?

I would put 20 yards on that with the right combination.

The answer to your question isYES if your a responsible wildfowler, the less experience newer wildfowler might consider taking long range shots and will end up wounding more birds than killing them, the best place for that kind of shooter is not on the marsh.

Remember you should be responsible at all times you never know who's watching. Happy hunting.

If your new fowler is that inexperienced at shooting he will still wound plenty at any range.

You should not be taking him out if you are not sure he is a good shot .

Really. post-22823-0-42373100-1447672735_thumb.jpg

 

Well that pattern is a True 60yrd

Cartridge Home Load 36gms Steel 2 Shot 3" case

Choke used was a Carlson Cremator LR

Last Sunday Friday and this Sunday that combination cleanly Killed plenty of Foreshore Pink's

So are you saying myself and other's than can use Steel to good effect are not Responsible Wildfowlers !!!!!!

Seriously good. That's amazing at 60 yrds. What constriction is the Carlson choke fella

It's a Invector plus LR without checking I believe 0.715 Improved Modified but don't hold me to ramsom on that.

I'm not one for patterning but I patterned

36gms Steel 2 and BBB 42gms HW13 2 and 42gms 4 shot PWS and in 46years wildfowling I've never seen patterns like them Truely amazing
